    National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has requested that the government declare an emergency in some areas of the Volta Region.

    The former president claimed that priority should be given to the areas most severely affected by floods caused by the spillover from the Akosombo Dam.

    The NDC Flagbearer wrote on Facebook on Wednesday, “It is obvious that the scope and scale of the flooding of communities along the Volta River is bigger than our crippled economy can bear.

    “I recommend to Government to declare a State of Emergency in the affected areas and request relief assistance from our bilateral and multilateral partners immediately.”

    In connection with this, Dzifa Gomashie, the NDC’s representative for Ketu South, criticized President Akufo-Addo for his remarks regarding the flooding.

    The lawmaker claimed, in an interview with Class FM in Accra, that the President had disrespected the people of the area rather than provided any workable solutions to the disaster.

    “His Excellency, the president, should be ashamed of himself because if you go into your archives, you’ll see that from 2021, the three MPs along the coast of the Volta Region — my good self, the MP for Keta, Hon Kwame Dzudzoli Gakpey and the MP for Anlo, Hon Richard Kwami Sefe, called on the president many times to come to the aid of our people who were inundated with the tidal waves that had hit our communities”.

    “In my particular case, in one year, the tidal waves hit me three times”, she revealed, complaining: “On none of those occasions did the president speak about it, tweet about it, or think about it”.

    President Nana Akufo-Addo visited Mepe to assess the disaster brought on by the planned release of extra water from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams. He claimed he was there to show his support for the thousands of Volta Region residents who have been forced to flee their homes after flooding destroyed their farms, homes, and other property.
